Little progress report for you guys:

Managed to integrate more with the default phone app - Using generic intents i can hook into the standard edit/view contacts now. This means from my app, you can view and edit using either the default contacts or this app.

Also means that you can view details using my app from the default one. HOWEVER Google haven't stuck to their own design recommendations and special case contact editing, and using a different api, so you cant launch this apps edit from the default contacts. Bit of a fail if you ask me but meh =/

In progress now:

A-Z scroller! Since almost everyone wants it, this is top of my priorities. Its proving to be a... problem 0=).. to implement, since my rendering mode is completely custom. So i'm in the middle of re-implementing my scrolling mechanism.

Good news though - 'Super Scrolling' is almost complete - high speed scroll on the side, virtually the same as the default fast scroll behaviour. Just have some performance issues with it, and UI to work on. Adding A-Z to the top of that shouldnt be difficult after i've fixed this. We may be looking at an update for this today/tomorrow!
[Android Software Development] sykomaniac:
That does seem like a really good idea - so thanks for the suggestion :)
[Android Software Development] karun11:
Is anyone able to download from the market? I am not able to find it in the market. It says application does not exist.

Can anyone please post the apk?
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Seems the web market has issues with it =/ if the QR code doesn't work, just search for '3d contact list' on your phone market and it is the top result
[Android Software Development] karun11:
Nope...I tried that too. I still dont get this app. :(
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
What phone / android OS version do you have?
[Android Software Development] karun11:
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 running android 2.1
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
its possible that the market where you are has been locked down a bit - Where are you from?

Market Enable may be an option if this is the case.

From a developer point of view, I would rather not be distributing APK's of my apps, since they have no market link, and cannot get updates from the market.
[Android Software Development] karun11:
I am from India. Thanks for the tip. I will try Market enabler.

edit:

Market enabler worked. Thanks :)

Awesome app btw!
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Thanks =) glad to see it worked
[Android Software Development] crstfr:
one of the best apps yet!.. i wish you could make my txt mms look like that.... where i just click on the cube, and it opens my message.... just a thought...

updates are great!.... the 3d box scroll seems to be much smoother on my EVO too...keep up the good work man!
[Android Software Development] RottenRonnie:
In settings can we have ways to separate contacts from contacts /email

Contacts for phone only

Contacts email only

That way i can scroll just thru either not both together .

I think this app has potential.

Thank$

Ronnie
[Android Software Development] dpg60:
Very Nice App.

Just downloaded it and it looks like it has promise.

Is it possible to filter a group of starred contancts for easy lookup?
[Android Software Development] biohaz55:
Just installed on my Desire HD.... very nice.

With the changes/mods/improvements suggested and discussed this will certainly become a great app!

Many Thanks
[Android Software Development] chareos12:
This is very nice, altough on my Desire (Oxygen ROM, very clean and in great shape) the scrolling is

not smooth

.

Also...

I'd LOVE an xperia-like variant.

For a smooth scrolling xperia variant I'd gladly pay up to 2$ :p
[Android Software Development] ranasrule:
will this remain free after the beta period ?
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Yes it will - i wont be taking it away from everyone that has helped get it where it is now.

However, I will be adding a donate version to the market for those people that want to say thank you for the work.

The way I see things going they will start off as the same/similar but the donate version will get features etc either before the free version, or they will stay unique to the paid.

If anyone wants to donate now though, feel free! =) I have a donate to me link =p
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
New update!

* New icon! - Thanks to Cypis

* Move integrated with stock contacts app

* Improved speed of building list with caching

* A-Z scrolling! NOTE: This can get laggy when scrolling very fast
[Android Software Development] Haizum74:
Really nice app, wouldnt mind having a 'scroll tab' option that lets you place it on the left side of the screen for us lefties.
[Android Software Development] sag7392:
The scrolling tab needs some work. It makes it choppy and slow when used. This is just constructive criticism, that I hope will help make this a better app.

Edit- I just reread you post and see what you were saying about scrolling. My bad!

Do you plan on integrating contact addresses and notes?

Running it on an EVO with Mikfroyo 4.5.

[Android Software Development] revenge50:
cool man,its much better than the boring stock contacts app
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Theres quite a few plans for this - theres a fair few mentioned in this thread - a big one will be the details view - I plan on having a rotatable cube with different information for each face, so contact addresses and notes will definately have a place
[Android Software Development] sag7392:
Cool beans bro! I like the direction this app is going. When that is implemented, it will replace my stock one for sure!

Sent from Steve Jobs vision of a great phone...
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
New upgrade! Only a minor release though.

* Performance improvements to scrolling

* Bug with scroll icon shrinking/passing top & bottom of screen fixed

NOTE: there are still performance issues with the fast scrolling - This is due to rendering the list items taking a while. I'm looking into a way of trying to speed this up even more.
[Android Software Development] prasadKnew:
Just installed, working good (with afore mentioned lag in scrolling).

I see that it shows the phone numbers stored differently for each contact. For one of the contacts it is only showing Work Phone and Other email but not Home email and home phone though it is shown in details ( I believe they should be shown on one of the faces of the cube) but for others it is showing Home Phone and Work Email.

For one of my contacts it does not show the image pulled from Facebook but for some it is showing correctly.
[Android Software Development] fowenati:
Just wondering how would this preform on an HTC Hero (CDMA) slightly overclocked on CM6.1.0
[Android Software Development] :
I have to say this is f****** tight...good job
[Android Software Development] sykomaniac:
Cheers for that! :)
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
The reason for this is that it tries to display your default phone number, and if there isnt a default number set it falls back to display the first it finds. There could potentially be a setting that you can set the default you want to show if none is set? Ie work, mobile etc.

With regards to the facebook image sync - thats not built into the app yet so it just displays the photo saved to the contact in your google account. If you have previously synced the 2 then it would show the image
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
The more power the better really =P works fine on lower res devices (tested on my gf's Optimus One) and more power (oc'd in this case) = less lag.

Try and see i guess =) Feel free to report back though - trying to build a list of how well each device supports it
[Android Software Development] :
Looks very good!

Are you taking requests? :

- full screen widget, with same visual rotation style

- when you press on a contact, can you show (or have the option to show) the standard pop-up box, with the contact name, and then icons underneath for phone, sms, email, edit etc?
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
I am indeed taking requests =)

Widget for what? a single contact, or virtually the app as a widget?

And with the contact details, i'm actually working on that now, the cube effect that was mentioned earlier in the thread. Good idea about the icons though! ill look at adding that =)
[Android Software Development] :
Widget - yeah, basically the app, but can be used a full-screen widget on one of the phone homescreens.

As for the pop-up, I'm talking about the pop-up in this image (Taken from a LauncherPro screenshot, but I think it's a standard pop-up)
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
This contact cube has proven to be a nightmare! First the rendering of it was difficult, then the texturing (I forgot the bmp had to be of comparable size), then the rendering layouts into bmps on the fly... We're getting there though! Now all to do is render different information on each face!

I'm gonna release an update with this as a add on once i've done that, and then integrate the functionality into it (difficult!) so you guys can have a look. Keep an eye on the thread though!!
[Android Software Development] Rhajam:
Can I suggest a dark grey color for the style of the list? (I think it's better than black with white border on black background) :).

Other thing: it's usefull a "letter index" like the standard address book (the mini column at the right) to rapid search when you have many contacts.

Thanks a lot
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Almost done with the 3D cube! just need to put something decent on the top and bottom face and were away! =)
[Android Software Development] fowenati:
It was very laggy on my Overclocked Hero. Its running at 768mhz :\ Probably will work fine on any newer phones made in the past year or so
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Update in the market! Included :

* Added contact cube - Just for display purposes for now

* Beginnings of facebook integration (Hence the internet permission)

* Minor fixes
[Android Software Development] sykomaniac:
Feedback on the update welcome! Still looking to add more features to make it usable as a daily contact app but we are getting there!
[Android Software Development] geo.samuel:
Display option Needed for selective contact accounts

First of all let me congratulate for an awesome app!! Let me confirm that it is running peacefully on my dell Streak Stock Froyo!!

However there is a small suggestion that I would like to make here:

There should be an option to have selective accounts of contacts

Like you can select in the stock phone book, you can hide twitter and face book contacts or can just have contacts with phone numbers in the display view..

However once again Great job!!:D

Peace Out!!

Sam
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Brilliant! Thanks!

Something I'm working on at the moment is integration with facebook and twitter. I dont want to rely on the stock contacts store for this, since theres plenty of talk around for getting rid of such tight integration. I am (at least for facebook so far) going to take advantage of single sign on - you sign into your facebook app, and my app picks this up.

As part of this i hope to supply the functionality to join gmail/facebook/twitter contacts together (I'm writing the logic fr this now)

As part of this work, your suggestions will definitely be implemented =)

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] redbullcat:
OK. I've been using this app for a while, on a host of different phones. HTC Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S i9000, and a Nexus One. On all these phones, this app has been laggy when scrolling through the contact list . It's a really nice app, great for showing off to your friends (especially those who have iPhones!). But it's not so good when laggy :(

Now I have a HTC Sensation (woo!), but this app is still laggy, even with two cores :(

So, my question: Is there any way the user (me!) can make this app less laggy? Or does the code still need optimizing?

Thanks :D
[Android Software Development] Beyondev:
Brilliant, I like it :)
[Android Software Development] AndrewAD3:
This is pretty cool. It looks nice on my 3.0 Sense ROM!
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Hey guys! Appologies for this - I've been MEGA busy lately with work and moving home and whatnot. Oh and I caught the Minecraft bug too..

But anywayz, Back to this app, fresh eyes on it gave me a brilliant idea on how to speed the app up, and it seems to work!! Theres lag when opening it that i'm working on, but aside from that its MUCH faster! So yea, update in the market - 0.95B - i'm getting close to being comfortable dropping the beta!
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
Once more we have an update!

Basic facebook integration in this one - Status updates at the minute, with code in there for getting contact pictures too, so it shouldnt be too long before this gets added.

Made it easier to navigate through the contact details sections, since it wasnt very obvious before.

Also because its not obvious - A quick introduction to the app, highlighting the best things you can do with it, and how to enable facebook integration.

1 more thing you may not like - Now we have small ads right at the bottom of the contact list. Shouldnt really bother people there, but there are plans for a premium version - Ad free of course, with potentially open theming capabilities, and integrating with more services!

Hope you enjoy it!
[Android Software Development] AzureNightwalker:
This is in the android market now! Currently only feature of it is ad-free, but it will be the one receiving facebook contact picture integration soon!

Rebooted the Dinc and then as all apps started all had to force close.

The only thing that fixed this was to revert back to a recovery backup.

Anyone else seen this happen?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Did you restore apps by using Titanium Backup, and also restore data?

If you did then that's your problem, you're not suppose to restore data of the apps :p
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIDIncII:
Also try going into Rom manager and running "fix permission." That fixed the problem for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendive:
Nope did not restore data... And my DINC was running find for as long as 3.5 has been out. Just suddenly started this.

It's good now I had a backup...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendive:
Problem I was not able to do anything with the DINC. Anything your started did a force close.

So I just reboot into recovery wiped everything and loaded an backup that was just created a few weeks ago.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabot105mm:
I am trying To connect my Eris to my vpn using openvpn settings, but heard that the roms kernel needs to have tun support embeded. So like I said in the title which roms support it? I have kaosfroyo. Also can I access my network shares via openvpn settings?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Conap built CFS v9 with TUN support (as a kernel module). See for yourself by searching for "TUN" in his Dec 4th commit, or by inspecting his V9 download (in system/lib/modules).

Whether or not ROM devs included all of those kernel modules - or, more importantly, performed an "insmod" at some place during initialization to load the module into the kernel (by default) is different matter. But, that is certainly something that you could do on any CFSv9 ROM with a root-privileged script; just make sure you install the matching kernel module to the kernel you are using. Depending on what the dev does with "include" directives out of the /init*rc scripts, you might be able to make an insmod automatic at boot with something in /system/etc/init.rc.local (or whatever it is named).

If you want, you can peruse Conap's .config release history to see if different kernels were built with TUN support - his kernels are in lots of Eris ROMs. I didn't look through it exhaustively, but it looks like he also built it for V8.

cheers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabot105mm:
my kernel is from conap version 2.6.29. im having trouble connecting to the server via openvpn settings. i installed the openvpn installer and openvpn settings, also the tun.ko file i moved to the modules folder, i think i did everything right but still i get an error fatal: cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically. what does that mean?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I think it means you've got some more analysis work to do.

Normally I might be motivated to help (I've done a fair bit of network admin incl. tunneling setups, and find it interesting work), but I don't have ready access to a configured server... so I would have to configure both a server and the phone in order to help out further. A bit too much volunteer work for me, I'm afraid.

Good luck... and remember that Google is your friend!

Sorry for the Noob questions...I just don't want to F things up.

I am thoroughly enjoying CM7 on my vibrant, however, I am wanting to try out the Simply 2.3 ROM that is 2.2.1 based. I am wondering if I need to Odin to stock, or could I just flash the new rom through CWR 3.0 that is CM7 based.

Maybe other noobs would like a direct answer also.

Thanks for everything! Love these forums!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
don't know thew build platform but it they are based on the same platform you could flash over one to the other, but I usually Odin back to stock anytime I am changing from one dev's rom to another It is safer.........

"For Sprint users, dialing *38 on your mobile device deactivates the forwarding vmails to your email address associated with your Google voice and returns it back to your mobile voicemail.

I just did this today and it worked! Wish someone told me this 3 weeks ago. LOL."

Hope that helps

I need to take my phone back to sprint, seems there is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit. it will not mount to the computer, it will sort of charge, but if you unplug the cord, it just thinks its still charging. if you turn it off, it either just stays off until you pull the battery or sometimes it just reboots itself. it will not charge when off etc.

I tried 3 different roms so I know its not the rom.

So odin is out. I have bonsai rom and clockwork mod on the phone. I don't think thats a good idea to take it to sprint like this. is there anyway to get it back to stock?
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
anyone help please?
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Just to make sure, have you tried putting it in download mode? It doesn't necessarily need to mount to computer for odin to recognize it.
[Epic 4G General] Sean Hicks:
I suppose you could flash something to get you looped at samsung mobile screen.
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Agreed, that's what I was getting at.If odin will at least recognize it and start to flash, even if it fails it'll stick at boot screen.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
i have got the screen to say download mode, but odin doesn't recognize nothing.

ugg, I got this clockwork v 3.0.0.5 and I tried to run an old update.zip figuring maybe i'd brick the phone or get it back to stock and it won't work with that version of clockwork. I don't know what the heck to do, i can't walik in with it like this.

yea, odin is a no go, thats the problem i tried odin on two different computers, you want to know how screwed up this thing in? sometimes it boots up and thinks its in car dock mode.
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Try a different USB cable? If odin is just impossible, remove sd card, take a short piece of wire with bare ends, have phone powered on, and short whatever you find on the back, fry the board. Sad, but gotta take it out back and put a bullet in its head.

Really though, IF the Sprint employee even notices, chances are they won't say anything anyway. Never did for me.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
how much does it cost for them to fix it? tried 2 different cables and i know they were working, i know its not the cable because, when i plug in the charger, it doesn't ring up usb debugging when that is selected and you only supposed to be able to deselect or select usb debugging when the cable is out, but I can toggle it on and off with the cable in or out.

Go to another phnes thread

Maybe the EVO

Download a rom from there and then flash it through cwm

[Epic 4G General] robl45:
since i'm rooted and they would be foolish not to notice i'm rooted and it seems there is no way for me to unroot or go to a stock rom, would it be better to just brick the thing? i hate to do that do to the fact that then i'm stuck without a phone. Plus what if I brick it and they find out it was rooted? can they do that?
